Chicken Fajitas

This is one of those 'don't know what to cook tonight' recipes! Feels like a treat midweek, but is also great weekend food if having friends and family round for a bite to eat. Can be made with your choice of protein, but chicken fajitas are our definitely our favourites! 

What you'll need

Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2.

For the fajitas

• Chicken breasts or thighs
• Onion
• Peppers
• Iceberg lettuce, for the wraps

For the fajita spice mix

• 3 tsp ground cumin
• 3 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1-2 tsp chilli flakes
• 2 tsp garlic granules
  

For the salsa

• Olive oil
• Lime juice
• Tomatoes
• Coriander

What to do

1. Make the salsa. Finely chop about ¼ red onion, some tomatoes and a handful of fresh coriander leaves. Mix in a bowl with half a lime juice and a tablespoon or 2 of olive oil. Set aside and let the flavours mingle while you get everything else ready.

2. Make a batch of fajita spice mix - the quantities listed are enough for 2 or 3 recipes. I use the same spice mix for Chilli con Carne.

3. Slice the fajita ingredients; chicken into strips, peppers and onion in similar size slices/ batons.  Coat everything with fajita spice mix. On a medium high heat, pan fry the onions for 2-3 minutes in a dash of olive oil, then add the peppers. When cooked, remove from pan and set aside.

3. Fry the chicken strips in the same pan on a medium heat until golden and cooked through.

4. Serve up with a squeeze of fresh lime juice and some salsa in iceberg lettuce wraps. Optional; add some grated cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Some guacamole or sliced avocado. If you like an extra kick, add some jalapeño's or fresh red chilli!
